theoretical debate in the visual arts it has long escaped attention in the field of music.
This open access volume assembles for the first time an array of theoretical approaches and
practical examples dealing with New Music's institutions their critique and their
transformations. For scholars leaders and practitioners alike it offers an important
overview of current developments as well as theoretical reflections about New Music and its
institutions today. In this way it provides a major contribution to the debate about the
present and future of contemporary music.
